About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed an old newspaper clipping stuck between the groceries in his shopping cart. Curious, he picked it up and read that decades ago, someone had claimed to see a ghostly figure near the bakery section. As days passed, more customers started noticing similar clippings—some even claiming to spot the ghostly figure themselves. Finally, one day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe we should start selling donuts for good luck!’ The manager smiled, shaking his head, but everyone agreed on one thing: Kroger was definitely haunted—and they were all happy to be part of its quirky legend.
2. One day, while stocking shelves, a young employee caught a whiff of something peculiar—a faint scent of fresh-baked bread mixed with vanilla extract. It lingered for only seconds but left everyone in the store curious and smiling. As the day wore on, more employees started noticing the same sweet aroma. Soon enough, rumors spread that Kroger was secretly baking its own goods. A delivery driver even claimed he saw a mysterious figure carrying trays of pastries through the back door. But when management checked the kitchen, all they found were some overzealous cleaning supplies. The whole town laughed it off as just another Kroger urban legend—until someone finally admitted they’d been spraying air freshener near the bakery section during their break.
3. One night, as employees were closing up Kroger, someone left a mysterious note on the manager’s desk: ‘The last person to check out will find a surprise.’ So, the last customer that evening was an elderly lady buying some milk and bread for her grandkids. She scanned her items, paid with a smile, and walked towards the exit. Suddenly, she noticed a small package wrapped in brown paper under the counter. Curious, she opened it—inside was a bag of freshly baked cookies from the bakery section, still warm. The note read: 'Enjoy your treat!' Turns out, it was a prank by one of the bakers who wanted everyone to leave happy.
4. In the dairy aisle one afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly at the milk cartons and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! They’re dancing!’ Her mother smiled and gently shook her head. The cartons did indeed seem to sway slightly in time with each other, creating an illusion of dance. As they walked away, another customer turned around and asked, ‘Is everything alright over here?’ With a laugh, the mom replied, ‘Just our little family’s weekly performance!’
